Military Watch Straps: Function, History, and Design

The term military watch strap is often used to describe any one-piece strap, but in reality there is a wide range of designs, each originating from different military branches and countries. Ground forces traditionally relied on the NATO strap (or its U.S. equivalent), aircrew commonly used the Bund strap, and divers generally wore standard NATO straps. However, in some navies—most notably the French Navy—divers adopted a highly specialised design known as the Parachute Elastic Strap, often referred to as the Marine Nationale strap.

All military straps share the same fundamental purpose: practical, necessity-driven design. The Parachute Elastic Strap was first seen on Tudor watches but also appeared on ELVIA and various other watches issued to French military personnel.


Origins of the Parachute Elastic Strap

The Parachute Elastic Strap dates back to the 1950s. Some divers used Perlon straps made from woven nylon fibres, while others ingeniously repurposed elastic webbing taken from reserve parachute harnesses. These elastic straps—commonly khaki-green with a yellow stripe, though produced in several colours—proved flexible, resilient, and comfortable, particularly when worn over a wetsuit.

Because they were made from issued materials, they were also a practical and economical solution for military divers.


Premium Parachute Elastic Straps

Our Parachute Elastic Straps replicate the material and appearance of the original Marine Nationale design, but are fitted with heavy-duty NATO-style buckles for improved durability. They are ideal for warm-weather wear and pair perfectly with dive watches or other military watches such as the G10.

Manufactured from high-quality woven elastic, the material is both soft and extremely strong. Each strap is fitted with brushed stainless-steel hardware.


Advantages of Parachute Elastic Straps

Exceptional Comfort
Many users consider this the most comfortable strap available, as it naturally conforms to the wrist.

Sweat and Odour Resistant
The elastic material wicks away moisture quickly and does not retain odours.

Washable
The strap can simply be removed, washed, and refitted.

Fully Adjustable Fit
It offers virtually infinite adjustment, allowing either a snug or relaxed fit.

Secure Hold
Once fastened, the strap remains stable and prevents the watch from rotating or shifting on the wrist.

Cost-Effective
An easy and affordable way to refresh the appearance of your watch while improving wearability.

Elegant, Lightweight & Eye-Catching
Color: Green, Size: 3 clover, Color: Green, Size: 3 clover
These are really nice earrings—long and elegant without feeling heavy at all. They’re super lightweight, so they’re comfortable to wear all day. The design is eye-catching and adds a nice statement without being too much. The green detail is pretty and gives them a unique look. They hang nicely and move just enough to catch the light. Great quality, stylish, and easy to wear.

Probably not real malachite
Color: Green, Size: 2 clover, Color: Green, Size: 2 clover
These have a malachite-look insert in the bottom dangle piece. I'm pretty sure it's not real malachite though - probably a plastic piece or such. I only marked it down one star though because it still looks very nice (and it doesn't claim to be real anywhere). From more than an couple inches away it looks fine though. I say this because the green part in mine is identical between the two, has a plasticy sheen to it (no variation like real stone), and the back is white (not green). It's a sparkly set of earrings though and the green is a nice touch, so I can definitely recommend for casual wear. Just know it's probably not real - but that can be your secret.

Lovely bracelet
Color: Green, Color: Green
This bracelet exceeded my expectations! The pictures truly don’t do it justice—the quality and overall look are even more stunning in person. The cubic zirconia stones are incredibly sparkly and catch the light beautifully. It’s well-made and feels like a high-quality piece of jewelry. I love that it’s not bulky at all, and the two-strand design adds such a cute, elegant touch. It would make a perfect gift for someone special (or yourself!). You definitely won’t be disappointed!

Nicely made, lightweight and very pretty
When I ordered this bracelet I didn't realize that it was a double strand design. It is lightweight and comfortable on my wrist and the two strands of different designs add visual interest to the jewelry. It is helpful that the bracelet has adjustable length so that it can be used on small or larger wrists. My picture shows the length as 9", so there is plenty of room to expand or decrease according to how you like it to fit. Another of my pictures shows that the back side of the clover is solid and smooth-- nothing scratchy against your wrist. I feel this bracelet is a good value for the money and would make nice gift.
